| Description | A full moon night with moderate smoke haze. I was amazed my capture was this good, which isn't very. An enigmatic target for sure. Even in the Arp plate, it's hard to be sure that the large galaxy is "spiral" or that the small galaxy is ellipitcal. That said, "perturbing" is evident in the curve of the right hand galaxy, based on the tidal flow between them which you can just make out even in my capture. |
